Akor Adams and Al-Taamari share emotional reunion after Jordan v Nigeria friendly

Super Eagles striker Akor Adams shared a warm moment with Jordan forward Musa Al-Taamari following Tuesday evening’s international friendly in Turkey, which ended in a 2–2 draw.

After the match, Adams took to his Instagram story to post a photo of himself alongside Al-Taamari and the President of the Jordanian Football Association, Prince Ali.

The two players had exchanged jerseys, each donning the other’s national team colours.

Adams captioned the image, 'Always a pleasure, my brother', a message Al-Taamari echoed when he reposted the photo with a simple reply: 'My brother'.

Notably, Al-Taamari had opened the scoring against Nigeria with a well-taken free kick in the 17th minute.

The relationship between Adams and Al-Taamari was established during their stint at Montpellier, where they shared the pitch for a season and a half from the summer of 2023 to the winter of 2025.

Both players have maintained impressive form at their respective clubs, with Al-Taamari emerging as a key figure for Rennes after contributing eight Ligue 1 goals this season—three scored and five assisted—while Adams leads Sevilla's scoring charts in La Liga with seven goals.

Meanwhile, Nigeria face the disappointment of missing out on the 2026 World Cup following their playoff defeat to the Democratic Republic of Congo in November last year, despite securing a third-place finish at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco earlier this year.
